Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Time passed quickly, and Yi Zhonghai had been arrested for five days. In the whole courtyard, apart from the aunt and the deaf old lady, only Qin Huairu still cared about Yi Zhonghai. To be more precise, she cared about the money in Yi Zhonghai's pocket. Early in the morning, after the aunt had breakfast, she was about to go to the police station to ask questions. Two police officers appeared at his door.

A middle-aged woman opened the door and saw the police officer and asked, "Comrade, what's going on?!"

The middle-aged police officer asked, "Are you a relative of Yi Zhonghai?!"

The lady nodded and replied, "I am his wife."

The middle-aged policeman opened his briefcase, took out a delivery receipt, handed it to the aunt, and said, "Comrade, please sign this."

The old lady took the pen with a puzzled look on her face and signed the receipt. The middle-aged policeman put away the receipt, handed the verdict to the old lady and said, "Here is the verdict. Tomorrow morning, you go to the police station and we will take you to see Yi Zhonghai."

"Hey!" The auntie responded and asked, "Comrade, how long will Yi Zhonghai be imprisoned this time?!"

The middle-aged policeman said nothing, but the young policeman next to him couldn't help but say, "He has been sentenced to eat peanuts. When you go to see him tomorrow, make him some delicious food!"

"What?!" The old lady's face changed, and she felt her legs go weak, and she fell to the ground. The middle-aged police officer glared at the young police officer, and the two of them helped the old lady to the side, asked her a few questions, and confirmed that she was fine. Then the two police officers left the courtyard.

As soon as the police left, everyone in the courtyard was in an uproar. In their minds, they thought that it was no big deal to embezzle He Yuzhu's money. As long as the money was returned, it would be fine. But they didn't expect the sentence to be so heavy. This verdict instantly refreshed everyone in the courtyard's perception. They all felt that they were deceived by the three managers.

As soon as the police left, the postman arrived. The postman walked into the courtyard, came to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house, and knocked on the door. An old lady sitting next to him asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?!"

The postman replied: "Does Zhao Guixiang live here?!"

The lady nodded and replied, "I am Zhao Guixiang."

The postman said, "Here is a registered letter for you. Could you please let me see your household registration book?"

"Oh! Wait a minute!" The aunt stood up and walked into the house. Not long after, the aunt took out the household registration book. The postman looked at the name of the person registered on it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he handed the letter to the aunt and asked her to sign the record.

After the postman left, Auntie tore open the envelope, took out the letter and started reading. The letter was from Auntie's nephew. After retiring from the army, Auntie's nephew was assigned to the Langfang Supply and Marketing Cooperative as a purchaser. He wrote in the letter that he was willing to support Auntie in her old age. However, Auntie had to divorce Yi Zhonghai.

After thinking it over, Auntie decided to ask Yi Zhonghai for a divorce when she saw him tomorrow. As the saying goes, it is better to part ways in peace. Auntie put away the letter, took out all the meat and grain coupons in the house, and went out with the basket.

After about an hour, the old lady came back home with a basket in one hand and a bag of flour in the other. Just as she put down her things, there was a knock on the door. She asked, "Who is it?!"

"Master's wife, it's me! Huairu!" Qin Huairu shouted at the door.

"I'm here!" An old lady walked to the door, opened it, and asked, "Huai Ru, what's the matter?!"

Qin Huairu said, "Master's wife, I heard what the police said. I want to go with you tomorrow to see the old man off for the last time."

The aunt replied, "Huai Ru! No need! Your uncle and I appreciate your kindness." After saying that, the aunt closed the door directly.

Qin Huairu frowned slightly and thought to herself, "What's going on?! Shouldn't she agree readily?! Why is she so cold to me?!"

Qin Huairu didn't know that on the day He Yuzhu found the secret room, Auntie wanted to ask He Yuzhu to let Yi Zhonghai go. Before Auntie knocked on the door, she heard the conversation between He Yuzhu and his sister. After all, she slept in the same bed with Yi Zhonghai. Auntie quickly analyzed the "truth" from He Yuzhu's words. At this time, Auntie had already given up the desire to save Yi Zhonghai, and hated Qin Huairu at the same time. It's just that she never had the chance to take revenge on Qin Huairu.

Now that Qin Huairu came to her house on her own initiative, the aunt was even more convinced that there was something between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu that could not be told. Because the neighbors were watching, the aunt could not turn against Qin Huairu, so she could only swallow her anger temporarily and send Qin Huairu away.

Qin Huairu was rejected by Auntie and hated her completely. At this time, Qin Huairu suddenly missed Jia Zhangshi.

At the same time, Gao Yao walked into the canteen kitchen and saw He Yuzhu standing in front of the stove, struggling to stir the wok. Gao Yao walked to He Yuzhu and called out, "Zhuzi, are you busy?!"

He Yuzhu sprinkled a handful of salt into the pot, stirred it a few times, poured the vegetables into the large basin beside him, then put down the pot and the large spoon and asked, "Director, what's the matter?!"

Gao Yao said, "I just received a notice from the Security Department. They asked you to go to the Public Security Bureau and collect the living expenses that Yi Zhonghai embezzled for you and your sister."

"Oh!" He Yuzhu responded, and said, "Director, I have nothing to do this afternoon. I'll take a leave."

Gao Yao took out a travel note and said, "I've written it for you a long time ago. Go early and come back early. There will be a treat in the evening."

He Yuzhu took the appearance list, looked at it, and said, "Don't worry! It will definitely not delay my business." After that, He Yuzhu washed the pot and started cooking again.

Sister Huang asked: "Director, how long will Yi Zhonghai be in jail this time?!"

"How long?!" Gao Yao looked at Sister Huang as if she was a fool and said, "He is eating peanuts this time!" After that, Gao Yao left the cafeteria.

After Gao Yao left, the kitchen helpers all stopped their work and started to discuss. Listening to his colleagues' discussion, He Yuzhu chuckled and thought to himself, "It's really a bargain for him to just let him die like this!"

As an informed person in the steel rolling mill, Xu Damao learned about Yi Zhonghai's affairs from someone he was familiar with in the Security Department. He was shocked and had no mood to continue joking with the people in the Security Department. He just said hello and hurried back to the Propaganda Department.

Xu Wude, who had just finished his work and was taking a break, saw Xu Damao's flustered look, frowned, and asked, "Damo, what happened?!"

Xu Damao replied, "Dad, the verdict on Yi Zhonghai has come down. Eat peanuts!"

"What?!" Xu Wood was also shocked when he heard the verdict and muttered, "How is this possible?!"

Xu Damao said, "I heard it from the security department. If Yi Zhonghai had only intercepted the living expenses of Sha Zhu and his sister, he wouldn't have been sentenced so heavily. He had other things to do."

Xu Wude breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I knew this old guy had a dirty mind. Now he's getting his comeuppance, right?!" Then Xu Wude looked at Xu Damao and asked, "What do the leaders at the factory say?!"

Xu Damao replied: "The person has already been fired, what else can I say?! But it's a good thing for He Yuzhu, as he got back so much money in one go."
